The Future: a Continuation of Today
You wonder what life is like
in a future not to far
away from now,
you dream, you hope,
you assume it will all go well
but every now and then
you realize that all
hope is overrated because
your today is endless
and it's not good.
You realize that nothing
goes right for you anymore
and that you will never be good
enough for the people in your life.
So hoping, dreaming,, striving
seems pointless
because you wonder
if there is even a point
in hoping
because in the end,
all of us end up the same.
So you give up all hope,
just for one second,
test the waters,
cross the street without looking,
walk on the edge of the cliff,
jump off the high diving board,
and are not afraid,
because you know,
that there is no point in the future
when tomorrow and today are the same.
